SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Plans and designs often contain hidden assumptions, unresolved dependencies, and unexplored decision branches that surface only during implementation. This Skill stress-tests a plan by relentlessly interviewing the user about every aspect until all decision branches are resolved. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Systematic Interrogation: Walks through each branch of the decision tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one at a time. - Recommended Answers: Proposes a recommended answer for every question, so the user can confirm, adjust, or reject with reasoning. - Codebase-First Investigation: Explores the codebase to answer questions itself instead of asking when the answer can be found in code. - Use Case: Before starting a major refactor, invoke this Skill to get grilled on your migration plan, uncovering edge cases in data handling, rollback strategy, and dependency ordering before writing any code. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to grill you on your plan or design document, then answer its questions one at a time until every decision branch is resolved.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stress-test a software design before implementation?

Use a structured interrogation approach where each aspect of the plan is questioned one at a time, walking every branch of the decision tree. This Skill automates that process, proposing recommended answers and resolving dependencies between decisions sequentially.

How to validate a technical plan with an AI assistant?

Invoke the grill-me skill and present your plan. The assistant asks one question at a time, offers its recommended answer for each, and continues until every decision branch is resolved and both sides share the same understanding.

Does the skill answer questions from the codebase automatically?

Yes. When a question can be answered by investigating the codebase, the skill explores the code itself instead of asking the user. Only questions requiring human judgment or intent are posed directly.

When should I not use a plan-interrogation workflow?

Avoid it for trivial tasks with no branching decisions or when requirements are already fully specified and validated. The interrogation adds the most value for ambiguous, multi-decision plans where hidden assumptions carry implementation risk.

Which platforms support the grill-me skill?

The skill declares support for claude-code and hermes in its frontmatter platforms field. It is distributed as a single SKILL.md file following the agentskills.io standard, so it works in both agents without modification.
